hello everybody  
Actually i am new to zend framework. I know that i can return a value of  
a variable from a form to the controller. Can I also return a value from  
the controller to any form or any model? If this is possible then please  
tell me that how can we do it.

Thanks in advance.

I thought zend was a php framework, in some sense a competitor of  
Rails. I did not know you could do Rails in the zend framework.
